The short answer

Which pigmentation treatment do you need?

Pigmentation has different types, and the treatment depends on which one you have. Melasma needs gentle, repeated toning and sun control; defined spots such as freckles and sun spots respond to spot lasers; post-acne marks fade with toning and repair; redness needs a vascular laser.

At YAAN Clinic in Gangnam, Seoul, the doctor diagnoses your pigment type first. Pico toning is ₩150,000 per session.

Honest suitability

Match the pigment to the treatment

We would rather tell you what you don't need. These are general guides; your doctor confirms suitability after examining you.

Pigment type → what usually helps

What we usually advise against

  • Strong heat lasers on melasma
  • Skipping daily SPF
  • Bleaching creams without supervision
  • Treating pigment on a fresh tan
  • Raised or changing moles without evaluation
How it works

Diagnosis comes first

Depth: epidermal pigment fades faster than dermal pigment.

Type: melasma behaves differently from freckles; heat can worsen it.

Skin tone: settings are adapted to reduce post-inflammatory pigmentation.
